. , 28 May 2020Yeah try to advertise a phone when all Zootubers bashing it... moreThat's nice roger

    Bogdan, 28 May 2020And the average person needs more professional TV's because... moreThe point of flagship itself is not for normal user. It is aimed for people who wants the best.
    For a normal user, there are of course many cheap smartphones in the market that will do the job in less than 500$. You don't need to spend over 1000$ for normal usage or specs, makes sense??

    I'm not saying everyone should buy this smartphone. But at least appreciate the Sony for its effort in creating a professional device. That's what makes flagship price worth it. For gamers, you have plenty cheap gaming mobiles that will do the work, for shoot at camera even budget pixel can take excellent pictures. Obviously flagships are not for so called "Normal User". This smartphone is aimed at professionals as well as the ones who wants these typical features. (One thing to remember you don't find the same features (Creator mode enabling 10bit and BT2020 colour gamout, 20fps AE/AF, 4K HDR display and so on) in other smartphones). Just like how you don't find 108MP, 120Hz refresh rates in Sony Xperia 1 II.

      It's long enough for Sony to realize they don't need to waste money on ads when users nowadays want Core i9 9900K and GTX 2080 Ti in a $299 smartphone.

          Smithravi, 27 May 2020Sony TVs are more professional TVs. Of course they are not ... moreAnd the average person needs more professional TV's because?!
          Professional cameras on a phone, professional TV's in living room.
          And how many so call "professionals", who buy Sony products are really using their devices "professionally"? I am curious to know.
          Logic of the Sony fanboys: "It is good that is there, but I will never used it, but it is good that I have this option, maybe in the future, someday, I will need it.. I am a professional..".

            Niko, 27 May 2020LG V60 has a notchAnd that's not the point. It was to the original conversation. But the point was otherwise v60 ticks all those boxes except notch and definitely has it's own advantages.
            But instead of just saying v60 has a notch the responses have been more about bashing.

              Sonythebest, 26 May 2020Yeah if its Samsung or IPhone he says alot of good things r... moreEven if it was so much bette on every way... which its not. It's just playing catch up. It's not killing anything because Sony is playing their usual game. They don't think they have to advertise well or put the phone out there. Nor do they think they need to work with the carriers.
              Just randomly throw a phone online and expect that everyone will just magically know it exists and go online to pay full retail for it. Rather than going into a carrier store and getting a good deal and split payments.

              One of the numerous reasons theirs sales are next to nothing anymore.

                LilPhone, 27 May 2020Read my comment more carefully. I did not say the Bravia Tv... moreSony TVs are more professional TVs. Of course they are not perfect but they are still better in many sections over other brands like LG or Samsung who are panel producing leaders. Anyone who's serious about colours will never pick cheap price 4K or 8K. Even cheap Sony TVs might not be as good as other brands.

They're extremely good (as I have seen them myself in a Sony SG store). But its top-of-the-line model costs $10000. I know it's a 4K (or even 8K?) TV with high refresh rate. But Asus offers a gaming TV with the same resolution for less and I think it comes with built in GPU. Just watch LinusTech's unboxing and you'll understand. He doesn't review Bravia TVs I think.

                    Smithravi, 27 May 2020And this comes from people who say 2010: die Sony... 20... moreSome of that yes. But some is true. Sony as a company make trash decisions that year after year are plummeting the mobile division and sales. And holding back the monster phones they could be making.

                      [deleted post]And this comes from people who say

                          Shui8, 27 May 2020Excuse me, are u even following my comments up to that post... moreSeems you are lost on definitions here.
                          Bashing is not real life users complaining about real life situations where they were screwed over by a company.
                          That's rightful complaints.
                          Bashing is if someone didn't like them and started saying bad things based on true or non true shortcomings. And many do as well.
                          Which generally never happens on Sony pages. You just end up having too many Sony loyalists hounding pages twisting the fact that people are being factual and trying to make it out as bashing.

                              'and the water proofing was not bashing'
                              - It is. First they advertise it using in a pool. After that in Sony forum, tonnes of user complains their phone broke because using it in a pool. And Sony wont cover warranty about it. Lots of user angry back then. That is called 'bashing'. After that incident, Sony then use newer ad for waterproofing without using the pool scene, and adjust the terms on waterproofing warranty.

                                      And the worst is Sony does it again... regardless of price and every other opinion missing this or inferior/superior this or that.

                                      They just expect to throw a phone out randomly... and online only basically at full retail. Next to nothing on advertisement and no carrier installments... and think it will sell?????
                                      The biggest mistake they make year after year that hurts them more than their technological issues.

                                      Advertise it and get back with the carriers and their sales will increase dramatically. Continue to do the opposite and their sales will continue to plummet.
